THE KINGDOM AND RIGHTEOUSNESS FIRST, NOT MONEY
No matter how much money we make in this life, it won’t help us in the next, unless we use it for good.
MONEY MONDAY
Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivers from death – Proverbs 11:4
Money can buy just about anything in this life, including a corrupt judge. However, there’s a Judge in the next Life who can’t be bought. His Judgment is not for sale because He’s no respecter of persons.
As Disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ we should seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness as He commanded us. That way, we’ll be pleasing to Him in our labour and how we get rewarded for it. That way we won’t get entangled in corrupt schemes trying to make a quick buck.
We should labour in this life with the next Life in mind. We should bear in mind that at the end of this life, we’ll all be judged according to our works. No matter how much money we make in this life, it won’t help us in the next, unless we use it for good. What will matter on that day will be our works which God will reward with either Eternal Life or eternal damnation.
PRAYER
Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you help me not to fall prey to the deceitfulness of riches. Help me to be pleasing to you in my labour and how I get rewarded for it. Amen.
